When Xie Zhaozhao opened her eyes, a handsome man's face filled her view. Long legs, a strong waist, and a face and figure that were exactly her type. Before she could ask for his WeChat, the man ground out through clenched teeth, “Xie Zhaozhao, until I sign the divorce papers, you’re still my wife. Run again, and I’ll break your legs!” Only then did Xie Zhaozhao realize she had transmigrated into a novel. In the story, she was selfish and shameless, abandoning her husband and child and running off with all the family’s money, only to die in a ruined temple. The man before her was none other than her nominal husband. Since she was here, she would make the best of it. Xie Zhaozhao decided to change the story’s ending. She refused to be the short-lived first wife. Instead, she would cling to the male lead, achieve financial freedom, and reach the pinnacle of life. She made money by day and flirted with her husband by night, until the stern, hard-hearted man was grinning from ear to ear.
The neighbors heard crying from next door night after night and told everyone that Xie Zhaozhao had been beaten again.
“I heard Xie Zhaozhao tried to run away this time, and Pei Heng broke her leg.”
“Absolutely. I heard it with my own ears. She cried herself hoarse and hasn’t left the house in three days.”
“She’s so frail. What if he beats her to death?”
“Serves her right for using that face to cause trouble everywhere.”
But six months passed, and Xie Zhaozhao was still alive. Someone even saw Pei Heng holding her close and kissing her.
A year passed, and Xie Zhaozhao was still alive. Instead, people saw Pei Heng and their son, one big and one small, kneeling in the courtyard.
“Wife, if you still won’t let me sleep inside tonight, I’ll kneel here until I die.”
“Mother, let Father sleep inside. I want a little sister.”
